We rented cabin 8 and 9 for a large family we were traveling with in Yellowstone. They were so cozy, cute, and clean. We had a bedroom, small living room/kitchen. We are going to Yellowstone next year and it is so reasonably priced compared to that area. It also had t.v. and internet which please our teenage/college age children. The... More

Stayed one night in cabin 9 and enjoyed a BBQ outside. Warm and welcoming. Some evidence that previous guests had had pets in the room but generally clean. Good stop off before or after Yellowstone. Perhaps a little overpriced relative to other accommodation in gateway towns.

Room was clean. Really nice folks. Just outside of town, The snowplow going by after dark startled me because it had by sooo quiet.

Big Moose is located about 3 miles north of Cooke City and is in a wooded area. (It's a resort in name only.) We were there during the rainy season so I'm sure we missed some of it's beauty. They are pet friendly which is great. Unfortunately, the parking lot isn't paved and there isn't a lot of grass to... More

I researched places to go for our Honeymoon and choose to stay here on our trip and I'm glad we did.. We flew into Salt Lake City and went through Yellowstone on our way to Mt Rushmore. This is one of our stops and I loved it! The owner was fantastic and knowing it was our honeymoon with a few... More

Second time we've stayed here, first time was in 2003. Cabin had many improvements including new bathroom, satellite tv. Had a terrific time, spent most of our time wildlife watching in the valley but our time at the cabin was very restful. Cabin was clean and the owners were very nice. Would stay there again for sure.

Excellent spot if you'd like a cabin setting at a reasonable price with quick access to the Lamar Valley of Yellowstone. Nothing really to do at the site, but the cabin was clean and fairly comfortable and the owners were helpful. We had half of the shared cabin, which as other posters have indicated doesn't have much in the way... More

This location was a good place to start the day and be at the entrance to Yellowstone quickly. We spent one night at the Big Moose, got up early and had breakfast in Cooke City and was at the park entrance by 8:30 am. There was no traffic at that entrance and it takes you right into the Lamar Valley... More

I like to spend at least some of the time I'm in the greater Yellowstone area in a locale with quick access to Lamar Valley, where the wildlife watching is great year-round. One option is Roosevelt Lodge, within Yellowstone but their season opens after the first week in June (and closes at the end of August). Since I was there... More

We toured Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks in August 2008 and loved every minute of it! Except the accommodation inside the parks which was dire. The Big Moose Resort is outside the north east exit at Cooke City, taking you over the border into Montana. Coming through Cooke City at 7pm after a full day in the park, we... More
